1.)read your owners manual... that's how. i'll even give you a hint, it in between pages 3 and 5...
2.)no(but you would know that too if you read the 20 something page booklet they kindly gave you with your $250 purchase)

p.s.- i hope to god this is a joke

I get the same thing occasionally - my Wii freezes on a black screen immediately after I tell it to load a game disk, it loses the connection with the Wiimote and doesn't respond to the reset button. What I do is hold down the power button for a few seconds until the light goes red, then turn the Wii on again.

Best ways assuming the reset button isn't helping...

press and hold the power button for 5 secs or so until the power button light is red.

or unplug it

you are too helpful


it's like Jesus said, teach a man how to reboot his Wii and know what he's doing for a day, teach a man to check the instruction manual and know what to do for a lifetime.(this is in the scientologist's version of the way things went down)

Use the sacred method of the drop-kick.

That's what it says in the owners manual. That's why it is called a "manual".

well i assume that they are literate... since they posted here, and therefore if literacy was an issue our answers would be of no help unless we drew a picture
